A quick update on my life: I started a new job in late June, working as an evidence technician. It's been an adjustment for me; both the work culture and the subject matter are extremely different from what I had at my last job. I'm waiting for things to settle in before I pass judgement on if this is something I can do for an extended time.
My garden is in growing in force, and this year my husband requested that I plant more flowers than edibles. Things have yet to bloom, but the ornamental look is different and pleasing.
I have decided to move ahead with publishing some of the books I have written; the first is due out in August, with two more to follow by the end of the year.
